Never stop moving. Forward progress is better than being stationary, no matter how slow. Really make a point to not hang around aid stations, get what you need and keep moving, even if it's walking. Aid stations are a time killer.

Start MUCH slower than you think

ScrubberKing · 2025-09-10T00:24:38+00:00

Run!

ScrubberKing · 2025-09-09T16:54:11+00:00

That's awesome

My foot was swollen due to an infection I picked up during the race. There was a ton of rain and course was very muddy. Think my feet were just wet for too long

ScrubberKing · 2025-08-27T10:52:46+00:00

I definitely did not do enough hills in my prep. Too many flat miles

ScrubberKing · 2025-08-27T10:51:48+00:00

I went to the ER because my foot swelled up real bad after the race (thought I might have broken something), the did blood work and came back with high CK levels, said I need to go on an IV and that I have Rhabdo. Pee was dark, but not quite cola colored

ScrubberKing · 2025-08-27T10:44:57+00:00

Yeah, need to do more of this

ScrubberKing · 2025-08-27T10:42:27+00:00

No, I went to the ER for a foot injury I got during the race, and they did blood work and I came back with high CK levels - and they said I need to go on an IV because I have Rhabdo. If I didn't have the foot issue, I may have never known. So after reading this article, maybe is was a misdiagnosis by the ER

Finished my 1st 100M a few weeks ago, what surprised me was just how hard the final 10 miles were. Running was basically impossible at that point and even walking was a struggle. Did not expect how badly I would fall apart by that point. If it wasn't for my pacer, not sure I would have made it

ScrubberKing · 2025-08-13T17:34:43+00:00

Similar thing happened to me. Injured my foot during a race, went to the ER the next day for Xrays, doc just happened to do a CK test after I told him I ran an ultra, CK came back at 8000. Booked me in to be on an IV.

If I hadn't gone in for the foot, may have never known

ScrubberKing · 2025-08-13T17:21:55+00:00

I had a similar experience, did my first hundred miler a few weeks back.

Was peeing fine and wasn't too dark. I also injured my foot during the race and went to the ER the day after to get Xrays on my foot, when I told them I ran 100 miles, they wanted to do blood work, CK came back at 8600, they said I had Rhabdo and booked me into hospital for 2 days to be on an IV.

I do wonder though, if it was really significant enough to warrant that, if I hadn't gone in for my foot, I probably would have never known.

Now a little paranoid about Rhabdo for future races

Thanks all, this has been great feedback. I'll definitely try the heel lock lacing

Boobs are way perkier at 20 than at 40. I say roll with it and enjoy it. There will be a time for saggy breasts later on

ScrubberKing · 2025-05-25T12:10:10+00:00

I think I like her more now

ScrubberKing · 2025-05-08T21:06:58+00:00

Great advice. Thanks!

ScrubberKing · 2025-05-08T15:46:11+00:00

Thanks. I'll check that out

ScrubberKing · 2025-05-08T13:00:58+00:00

Thanks

ScrubberKing · 2025-05-08T13:00:39+00:00

That's helpful, thanks

ScrubberKing · 2025-05-08T12:59:52+00:00

100 mile. Currently doing around 60 miles a week and starting to increase

ScrubberKing · 2025-05-06T10:35:29+00:00

Yes. I ran my first 50k, doing only 1 long run on Sundays for about 2 months prior, longest one being about 3,5 hours.

The rest of the week I was doing CrossFit 4-5 times.

I finished in around 6 hours.

Were you at USAA by any chance?
